| Summary |
"May Iverson's Career" by Elizabeth Garver Jordan is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the journey of May Iverson as she transitions from her convent education to a career in journalism in New York City. The story captures May's ambitions, challenges, and the lessons she learns about life, relationships, and her own aspirations as she intertwines with various characters in a bustling urban environment. The opening portion of the novel presents May's graduation from St. Catharine's convent, where she grapples with her future—initially contemplating a life as a nun but ultimately deciding to pursue journalism at her father's urging. May's first assignment as a cub reporter is set against the backdrop of a haunted house, where she encounters a mysterious old woman named Miss Watts and a sudden turn of events involving escaped convicts. As May navigates her first night on the assignment, she begins to realize both the excitement and dangers of her new career, foreshadowing the complex and often challenging experiences that await her in the world of newspaper reporting.
